Technical guidelines for environmentally sound mercury management in flouroscent lamp sector by the CPCB. These guidelines are applicable, in principle, to other mercury-bearing lamps, as well.
Mercury-bearing lamps (fluorescent, compact fluorescent, mercury vapor, sodium vapor and metal multi-vapors and mixed) use mercury as a vital component for their functioning. Mercury concentration in these lamps varies considerably depending on the manufacturer, the type of lamp and the manufacturing year. The Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India had constituted a Task Force for evolving a policy for management of mercury and a Technical Committee to suggest a set of guidelines, recommending measures & standards, for environmentally sound management of mercury in fluorescent lamp sector. These present guidelines are applicable, in principle, to other mercury-bearing lamps, as well.
